Location bar show items from subfolders

When searching a master folder in bridge using the show items in subfolders is it possible to limit the search to the first level of the master folder and exclude all nested folders?

I don't think so. As I read it, 'Show Items From Subfolders' is defined to display the entire contents of a folder including its subfolders in a single continuous flat view.

Can't Set Default for "Show Items From Subfolders"

I like to view several folders and subfolders at the same time...and then view another group of folders and subfolders, etc. etc. etc....and to do that I'm constantly going to View > Show Items From Subfolders because the command doesn't "stick." I've looked around, and don't see a way to set "Show Items From Subfolders" as a default. Does anyone know a way to do that?
Thanks for any help.

You can't do so and I'm still not sure you should, it is easy to forget
resetting it and when visiting a new folder with lot's of subfolders and
files not being cached it can slow down your workflow, but that is my
personal opinion
An option for you might be to open a new window for a new search in
different folders. By default the new window reflects the current window
with all subfolder content but changes also to without viewing subfolders
after having clicked on a new folder. However switching back to the other
window(s) they still have the 'show subfolders' active.
Instead of switching folders you could switch windows (I often have multiple
windows active and cycle through them using cmd+` (tilde key).

Show items from subfolders not working

OK, this HAS to be something I've done............
PC, Windows 7, Bridge CC.
Open folder. It contains folders that have raw files, .dng files, and jpeg files.
Click and select "Show items from subfolders". It tells me there are no items.
I'm pretty sure this USED to work on this machine. It's been doing this for at least a week. I don't have any filters set, or anything else that I know of.
I just tried it on the laptop, also Bridge CC, and it works fine. Do I have some preference or what goofed up?

Yes, when I go to the subfolders, the images are there. But when I go back to the parent and try to show images in subfolders it says there are none. I figure it can't be Bridge 'cause I did the same thing on the laptop and the images in the subfolders display fine.
I don't SEE any filtering. And I've closed Bridge and reopened it, which I think resets the filters and such? Is there anywhere else I could be filtering? Again, I've restarted Bridge. I also tried different folders on different disks, and in every case it says there are no images.
I just checked preferences and I have that set to 5000MB, so anything smaller than 5GB should display, right? These are RAW files in the 40MB range. And when I go down to the child folder they display fine......
Clobber Bridge and reinstall?

Why is "Show Items from Subfolders" disabled during search?

When viewing a folder with many subfolders, the "Show Items from Subfolders" command is avaiable and I can view all (10000+) files as a "flat" list. However, if I type a keyword in the toolbar's Search box, the "Show Items from Subfolders" command is disabled. That's a big problem for me when, for example, I want to see all photos that have "skiing" in either the filename or in any of the keywords without having to open each subfolder.
Is there a reason the Subfolders option is disabled? Is there a workaround?
Thanks.

Thanks Curt.
Checking the box searches the subfolders (which also happens if you enter the search time in the Search box on the toolbar), but the results are still displayed as folders that you need to navigate into (rather than displaying all the files that were found in the "flat" format which is what the "Show Items from Subfolders" menu command does).

Show items from subfolders won't stick when searching (CS5)

For some reason after selecting a folder, and making sure "show items from subfolders" is selected, when I do a search in that folder, "show items from subfolders" gets deselected. Any idea why this might happen? I'm pretty sure it has worked normally in the past.

Well, in that case, it sounds like this is causing the problem. If you can't read the cache, then you probably can't read an index either.
Without knowing anything about your computer system, I'd suggest that you need to check for general account permission setup problems before looking at Bridge specifically.

"No Items" is displayed when "Show Items from Subfolders" is selected

When I select the "view subfolders" menu item in a folder with subfolders and items, Bridge indicates that it is indexing. Then it displays "No Items". If I go to each subfolder individually, the images are displayed. This only happends in some folders. I purged my cache, perhaps this is the problem but it didn't help. I found a similar discussion named "View Subfolders" from 2009 with a "Helpfull answer" linked to http://kb2.adobe.com/cps/332/332992.html but it is now not available. My operation system is Apple OS 10.8.1.

Show items from Subfolders in order of folders

We want to create a contact sheet of all our images, but we need the order to follow our folder order and not alphabetical order for all the folders combined. I am on CS5, but do have access to CS6 if that can be done there.
We need
folder a (a-z)
folder b (a-z)
folder c (a-z)
and not
all folders combined a-z
our images are named by job number and to rename each image with an abbreviaotn for brand be a huge task

Interesting, could be that us poor windows non cloud people might have to wait until CS7.
Of course I fully agree with the combination of poor and Windows...
But I'm not sure you have to wait for CS7, I don't think the update was needed for Windows perpetual license, only had something to do with the Retina Display of newer Macs according to this blog (did not read it fully myself):
http://blogs.adobe.com/photoshopdotcom/2012/12/photoshop-13-0-313-1-1-updates-now-availabl e.html
And the Cloud update was meant for problems occurring with Cloud install but yes, it seems they want to let benefit Cloud subscribers earlier with updates for newer features.
There seems to be a possibility to only subscribe for PS in the cloud but it also seems hard to find info about this, try the education section on the Adobe site.
It is also a choice, once you quit the Cloud you are on your own because you don't have a working copy left on your system like you do when having bought a copy yourself.
For me having PS, Bridge and Premiere Pro at hand including the option of also using InDesign, Acrobat Pro and Illustrator (need it to use occasionally) is very useful. Having a small business myself, it was not a hard choice to make. Monthly predictable costs for the whole Master Suite and up to date software are very useful for my situation. It's all about weighing the pro's and con's.

Problem With Show Items In Subfolders, Windows 7 64

Is there a way to make "Show Items From Subfolders" persistent in Bridge CS5. I'm on a Windows 7 64 bit machine. If I click on this under View, if I go to another folder and come back, it will not show the flattened view. Another problem, it seems not to work on all folders. For example, if I click on Show Items, say for my 1981 folder, it will work. If I then switch to 1982, and click on Show Items, nothing happens.
Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks, Chuck

That is as designed, the moment you change view or use another window it returns to normal view. That might be sounding as a disadvantage but for normal work it should not start with flat view to my opinion so this seems the best solution.
However flat view should work on al folders, provided they have subfolders with content in it. If they don't show you should first select the folder itself and with the menu tools / cache choose purge cache for folder and then try again.
Also check if you have the correct permissions for your disk and or folders.
If you need to always view the content of a certain folder in flat view take an other approach, just move all the files in that one folder. If you relay on correct renaming consider a batch rename that adds for instance the year and date (yyyymm) in front of the already existing filename.

The location bar has disappeared from the top of any tab that I open. How can I get it back?

The location bar has disappeared from the top of any tab I open, so there is nowhere to type in a web address. Could I have accidentally made this happen? How do I get it back?

Just to be clear, it's not below the tab bar either? (That's the new style in Firefox 4 and 5.)
To hide or show toolbars, you can use the old View menu.
If you have the orange Firefox button, tap the Alt key to temporarily display the classic menu bar.
View menu > Toolbars > ''check'' Navigation Toolbar
If you are viewing the navigation toolbar but it's incomplete or corrupted, you can reset your toolbars.
View menu > Toolbars > Customize
In the large dialog with the icons, toward the bottom, click Restore Default Set.
Does any of that help?

Show Items in Subfolders

About two months ago I noticed that Adobe Bridge was not showing all of my files. If I check "Show Items in Subfolders" they appear (or if I search for them). I know I can go check this option every time I use Bridge but since I'm in it constantly, it is really a pain. I'm not sure why this is happening because there are NO subfolders in this folder! Any clues to this seemingly strange behavior would be greatly appreciated!

Well, I have no folders within this folder only files. And some files show up without having the subfolder option chosen and some do not. All are the same type of file also. Oh, well, maybe I'll figure it out or maybe I'll just have to live with it. Thanks.

Bridge Freezes when Show Items From Sub Folders

Hi all. I am trying to create a portfolio of past works. Using Adobe Bridge and Show Items From Sub Folders makes it easy to go through thousands of files. One major problem though; Bridge is not stable. When I try to view a folder with thousands of files Bridge will freeze and I have to force quite.
I am running a Mac Pro with Adobe Design CS4 Premium installed. I have 16gb of Ram and have played around with Bridge's preferences and deleted Bridges preference files. I also tried all the options list on Adobe's check list.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Regards
Stephen Thompson

Bridge is not stable. When I try to view a folder with thousands of files Bridge will freeze and I have to force quite.
As a matter of fact, bridge CS4 is the most stable version of bridge, and although still not perfect yo should be able to view the folder in flat view.
It only takes a lot of time to cache if you have not done before. If cache does not start you first should try to purge cache for folder using the tools menu.
If Bridge keeps freezing first thing to try is to restart holding down option key and choose reset preferences. Set prefs again to your own wishes and try again.
You can also try to first cache the folder using the tools menu. In the folderpanel select the main folder you want to view its contents and go to the tools menu / cache and this time select build and export cache.
Depending on the amount and size of files it takes some time. Then try again.
It is able to work, as it does on my system. I have also a main folder that contains around 5000 files organized in stacks and works as it should

Creating Query to show items from open sales orders with a/p invoice

Hi experts,
I am trying to create a query that will show what items/quantities are still in open sales orders that can now be filled by an incoming shipment of goods, processed through the a/p invoice.
This needs to be done using subqueries, which I have no experience with. I am trying to do this using the ORDR and RDR1 tables to show the open items from the sales orders and the OPOR and POR1 tables to show items just received in to inventory. I would like the query to show exactly the open item's, their quantities, the posting date from the sales order and the customer name that can now be filled from the new shipment through the a/p invoice.
I appreciate the assistance,
Hayden (on behalf of Todd)

Hello,
try this
SELECT T0.[DocDate], T1.[ItemCode], T1.[Dscription],( T1.[Quantity] - T1.[DelivrdQty]) As "Open Qty" FROM ORDR T0 INNER JOIN RDR1 T1 ON T0.DocEntry = T1.DocEntry WHERE T0.[DocDueDate] <= [%0]And ( T1.[Quantity] - T1.[DelivrdQty]) != 0
Try this query in query manager.
Thanks

Is it possible to have the Navigation Toolbar (or at least the pop-up Location Bar) show automatically when I open a (blank) new tab and be automatically hidden once I select an address/search?

I'm obviously aware of the possibility to show/hide the Navitation Toolbar manually, but I'd like to have it done automatically to get the best of screen space and navigation ease.

Thanks cor-el! I had tried that out, but was turned off by the different workflow (can't click Tab to select the address suggestions) and assumed by the look that I couldn't use my Smart Keywords for searches.
In fact, the workflow isn't that much bulkier and the Location Bar is fully functional:
* ''for a search: Ctrl+L, (Smart Keyword +) [search terms], Enter''
* ''for a suggested address: Ctrl+L, Down, Enter, Enter''
Still, it would be nice in future versions if:
# the Location Bar could automatically open when opening a (blank) new tab (just as the cursor automatically goes to the Location Bar when a new tab is opened with the Navigation Toolbar showing) to avoid the Ctrl+L step of the workflow
# the Tab, Enter workflow could be enabled for selecting address suggestions in the pop-up Location Bar
Or (most simply in my mind):
if '''the Navigation Toolbar could be set to show when a (blank) new tab is opened and disappear once an address/search is selected'''.

How to set location bar search independently from search bar selected engine?

With FF 23 searching in the location bar performs a search with the currently selected engine in the search bar. I find the behaviour annoying, as I sometimes select different engines in the search bar if needed, but most often I just need quick google searches that I perform from the location bar wihout need to change the search engine.
Is there a way to customise the behaviour, so that the search in the location bar points always to one engine, independently from the engine that is selected in the search bar?

hello tadolo, you'd have to use an addon like https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/addon/keyword-search/ to get back the old behaviour.

Since adding Yosemite, my bookmarks bar shows bookmarks from a different computer (my work computer). How do I fix this?

I just upgraded to Yosemite, and now I see that my bookmarks bar in Safari has all of the content from my work computer. Same with my reading list. Eeek! I want to keep these separate. How do I fix this?

Hi ..
It sounds like the Mac that's just been upgraded to Yosemite has Safari enabled in iCloud to sync bookmarks and the reading list.
Open System Preferences > iCloud then deselect: Safari
